Hello, I'm learning x86 Assembly and everyone says that the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Publications are undispensable for every good developer. I know that I can download the PDFs for free at the Intel's site, but I really want to have the original CD-ROM. When I've said this to my friends, they said that I can order those at https://secure.hibbertgroup.com/intel/spm?programId=1 and Intel will ship them for free to me(I don't have to pay for the CD-ROM and don't for the shipment too). I'm on Brazil and I want to know if this is real.

If you're able to download the PDFs, why are you interested in the CD?

Intel does (or at least has done, in the past) ship material for free - I'm in Denmark, and I've twice received their developer manuals in print. Dunno if those are still available for free, it's been an on-and-off kinda service.

A friend of mine received for free two copies here in Argentina, but nothing surprising, it is the very same thing you can download from the Internet (which you can be sure it won't be outdated as the CD version).

Depending on the country you live in, you may have to pay some import tax. That's entirely your government's fault, not Intel's. You can probably learn what taxes you'll have to pay for which items and from which countries in your local post office.
